Chuck,
I don't know what the plugged holes are. I see them on a lot of old
houses, but I have never found any explanation of what they are for. The
strange discrepancy between the weathered wood and the pristine siding is
probably not a case of someone doing half the job of fixing up the house.
The house has aluminum siding, which basically lasts forever without any
flaking off the way that it does from wood. The installation of the
aluminum siding and the paint job on the wood parts may have been done at
the same time 50 years ago. The paint peeled from the wood, while the
siding didn't age. Of course, I'd wonder why the owners never repainted
the wood, since there is not a lot of it to work on.
